You have not logged in for 3 days.....

Not copying from Dave, although he is very funny!

 I took this three day weekend off.  Off from everything, logging, logging in, exercising, eating well, all of it!  I wanted to see how I would feel, see if the world would end, because I wasn't logging in.  Fortunately, the world didn't end. however, I don't feel well for having not logged and not logged in. I feel kind of anxious, and more than a little guilty.  I feel bad physically; back hurts, hip hurts, puffy (not in the fun marshmallow way) and a little quesy.  I feel bad emotionally.  I feel like I have neglected myself.  I feel anxious today, nervous almost.  There is no real reason that I can pinpoint.  I think I am nervous about starting over - again.  I know that one of these times I will suceed, but I don't know that this is the time.  I want it to be the time.  I am tired of starting over and over and over.  I know, I know...If you're tired of starting over then don't give up.  There were a couple of weeks where this was even easy *gasp*  I thought to myself then "Self, you've got this!"

What I was doing WAS working, I had the balance of calories in/calories out.  I have to find that balance again.  I have to start logging my food again, I have to log in every day, no matter what. 

My body hurts, as I have mentioned above.  There is always something that hurts, back, hips, shins, something.  I know that if I can get a little of this weight off then things will hurt less.  The more I lose the less I will hurt.  It's going to hurt getting started

 "It's impossible" said pride

"It's risky" said experience

"It's pointless" said reason

"GIVE IT A TRY" whispered the heart.

Time to start listening to my heart.

Polar (hugs) You can do this! Sometimes, you have to dig down really, really deep and go to places within yourself and find the motivation. And, if you can't find it, then you make it! That's what you did the past three days. You made a new part of 'you'. Everybody gets stuck in a rut. The fact that you are still here means a lot. The fact that you knew enough to take a break means a lot. It's not giving up at all. It's the exact opposite. It's trying.

And don't you dare feel guilty about anything. There is only one person who knows you the best, and that's you.

We shouldn't be defined or let ourselves be defined by the weight of our body, but by the weight of our heart and compassion. And let me say, you have the gold medal locked on that one :)

I'm in the same position as you. I'm starting over and trying something new. I'm going off the anti-depression medication I've been on for 2 years because it is most likely causing me to not be able to lose weight. Stay tuned! I'll either start to lose weight, or go crazy trying ;) smooches!!

You found it once, you can find it again. And Annie wasn't too far off...if I didn't always have tomorrow to start fresh with a clean slate, I'd be a mess.

It's not about perfection, it's about direction...I say this over and over to myself.
If this and by this I mean eating, logging and exercising is what you want to do, you will do it.
Listen to your heart!
